Home / All Socio-economic Activities / Technology Support for Paper Mache Artisan Group…A holistic development initiative for artisans…
SETU has been continuously working towards the holistic development of underprivileged artisan communities by supporting sustainable livelihoods, skill enhancement, market access, and community empowerment.
We work with many paper mache artisans, who possess remarkable traditional skills and creativity, but continue to face challenges related to limited access to technology, In the current global marketplace, technology has become essential not only for business growth but also for survival and competitiveness.
Recognizing these needs, SETU identified that access to a laptop could significantly improve the artisans’ operational efficiency, creativity, and market connectivity. Therefore, we extended technological support to a Paper Mache Artisan Group by sponsoring a laptop for their collective use in production management, design development, digital communication, and market outreach.
This initiative aimed to bridge the digital gap faced by traditional artisans and enable them to participate more effectively in today’s technology-driven economy, with benefits like:
The laptop support has already created positive changes in the functioning of the artisan group. The artisans shared the following feedback after receiving and using the laptop:
“With this support we improve our workflow by maintaining our records properly and manage our product’s designs. Now it will help us to promote our products in global market and search more suppliers and increase our sales. It will also improve our work speed and product’s quality.
Tasks that earlier took much longer are now completed more efficiently. In result we are improving our creativity and gives better output timely.
SETU Team upgraded our technical capabilities and keeps us motivated to learn and grow in all ways.”
This feedback reflects how access to even a single technological resource can strengthen productivity, creativity, confidence, and economic opportunities within artisan communities.
SETU remains committed to supporting artisan communities through need-based interventions that promote dignity, sustainability, and inclusive development.
